Synopsis

Antonio Saura was not only a distinguished artist but also a fine writer. He devoted a number of pieces to Pablo Picasso, offering fresh insights into his older countryman and fellow exile. This collection brings together all of the Picasso texts, including the biting satirical tract ‘Contra Guernica’, which caused a scandal and remains notorious in the literature on the artist and this masterpiece. Saura’s remarkable ‘Imaginary Letter to Pablo Picasso’ takes up the story. Together the texts in this volume form an original and critically discerning analysis of Picasso’s vast body of work by one of the artists who understood him best. Saura expertly overcame the difficulty of painting during Picasso’s final decades and afterwards in the wake of the Spanish master’s legacy.
